“When in Doubt... GO BIG!! - Okinawa, Japan”

Worth It
Spent: $8,000 in Okinawa, JP

Posted 14 Jan 2011

I am only 1 month out, so I may feel differently about everything after a year, but so far I am rather disappointed with my size. I started with an a cup and had 350 silicone hp unders done.

Overall, breast augmentation was totally worth every penny and they are MUCH better, but I have a lot of regret about the size. I wish I had gone with 450 cc's. I went to a Japanese doctor who is super conservative and I wish I would have waited and gone to an American doctor. Also, the recovery is awful. I can still barely run, lift, or do much exercise, I still have trouble lifting my almost 2 year old, and I still can't stretch my arms past my head. I'm still considering doing it again though to go bigger, so I guess it's worth it!

Ladies, fake breasts look much smaller than real ones, so when in doubt... GO BIG! Also, choose a doctor that you really feel good about and look around. Take your time, ask lots of questions, be really specific, and do your research. I feel this would have saved me a lot of disappointment.

My Doctor: name not provided

My rating:

I think he was a good doctor but there is a huge cultural gap and small language barrier between us that really impaired our communication. He may be great for small Japanese women looking for smaller, more natural looking breasts.

Are you an expat living in Japan, then?

I'm sorry your breasts aren't quite what you'd hoped. If you don't get the implants upped, at least you can take comfort in the fact that smaller breasts often age better than bigger ones.

Thanks for sharing your story on RealSelf.
